Plot
School is coming back soon for Ipock and Williams. She wants to spend her last few days of her vacation with a high note. She begins to feel discouraged when Williams makes a sudden announcement. He says that he and Ipock will spend the last week of Summer at a holiday resort. The Wiregrass Elementary staff pack their bags and leave for the airport. Little did they know, one of Mr. James's friends, Chad, is watching them. The Wiregrass Elementary staff board the plane and leave. Before they do, Ipock asks his friends to take care of Bailey for them.

Once allowed to, Ipock starts to walk to the bathroom. She realizes that waste is dropped out of the plane and wonders where it will land. Strigler has eaten Ipock's peanuts and half her sandwich by the time she gets back. Hamlin tells Striger it's 1:49 in the morning, and Ipock faints. Meanwhile, Chad is cruising to the island that Ipock will stay.

Ipock wakes up at 10:40 when Strigler jumps on her. The plane has landed and they get to ride the free shuttle bus to the resort. Due to her timing being impeccable, Chad did everything twenty minutes before Ipock and the Wiregrass Elementary staff even landed. They register and get to the suit, They rent three rooms, one for Ipock, one for Hamlin, Strigler, Steinmetz, Cobb, and Brooks, and one for Abbott and White. Ipock hasn't eaten anything since they left the city, two days ago. They scramble to the outdoor swim bar for some burgers. But they make a big show of refusing to eat the burgers, so they are kicked out.

Ipock is now mad at Strigler for eating her peanuts. She goes down to the vending machine to buy some candy bars when a limo breaks down. Curious, she walks over, and kidnapped. Hamlin sends Strigler down to check on her, and both him and Brooks are captured, as well. The next day, Hamlin and Williams are in panic because their kids got kidnapped. He calls 911, but all he gets is a Spanish language (Has estado llamando al 911 porque ambas personas han sido secuestradas.) He is worried, so he puts up posters, but within an hour, the posters are taken down due to management issues. Williams is rather calm, which Ipock isn't happy about.

Melissa's mom calls Ipock if everything is alright, but Ipock is in a panic. Mrs. James tells Melissa that Ipock, Strigler, and Brooks were all kidnapped. Melissa alerts the other children, and they head to the airport. But the price for the tickets is over $6,000, so Nicola and Bart sail them here. The staff wave goodbye to their parents before sailing away. Nicola notices that she has to take care of Bailey, but then she sees Flora has her.

Sequel
A sequel, Wiregrass Elementary School: Darkness, is set to release on April 3, 2022. It was originally set to release on March 14, 2020 but was postponed due to incompleteness of the animation of the movie. It was also announced that four more movies, released on 2025, 2038, 2041, and 2056 respectively, will be created but it is unknown if they will be cancelled or severely postponed.

Wiregrass Elementary School: Holiday Resort producer Dan Price said on the subject of the sequels:

"our most likely outcomes will either be that Wiregrass Elementary School: Darkness will be the end of the franchise of the sequels get relesed and then we make Wiretraps: The Stupidest Thing That Happened On August 7 end off the franchise. Either way, something epic will happen, possibly killing off a main character."

Many fans speculate that Ipock or Williams will get tragically killeds off at the very end of the franchise.

"this is exclusive to The Matrix."
